A biologist reveals the secret world hidden in a single square meter of forest. In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one- square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, "The Forest Unseen" is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.
戴維•哈斯凱爾的研究與教學工作主要涉及生物進化和動物保護,尤其是對棲息於森林裏的鳥類和無脊椎動物的保護。除瞭發錶許多科研文章外,他還發錶瞭數篇關於科學與自然的隨筆和詩歌。哈斯凱爾因其創造性地將科學探索、冥想練習和社區行動結閤起來而獲得瞭全國關注。2009年,卡耐基基金會、凱斯基金會將他命名為田納西年度教授,該奬項隻授予獲得國傢榮譽或對大學教育做齣突齣貢獻的大學教授。“牛津美國”將他列入2011年美國南部最具創意的老師。他現在是南方大學的生物教授,生物學係主任,美國南部大學聯盟環保研究員。

評分特彆羨慕作者,親近自然就是他的工作,我兒時的夢想在他身上得到瞭實現。地衣、苔蘚有著它們的智慧,鳥類、蠑螈的日常活動被他盡收眼底,大雪、大風也不僅是冷冰冰的氣象學現象。知識性強而又不失浪漫情懷,簡直不能更棒。然而詞匯量是硬傷..
評分The writing is first-rate; the sources first-hand. I just read through it too quickly without ruminating. But some of the curious facts still linger on my mind, such as the ways caterpillars eat leaves.

距今35亿年左右,原核蓝藻诞生; 距今8亿年左右,具有真核细胞的真菌和藻类植物诞生; 距今3.7亿年左右,苔藓植物诞生; …… 也就是说,在经过了几十亿年的漫长演化之后,那些如今随处可见的植物才有了同我们相遇的可能。 可大部分时候,我们只是漫不经心地踩过一片葱郁的草地...
